Kim Kardashian Thanks Kanye at People's Choice Awards

Last night, Kim Kardashian received the Fashion Icon Award at the People's Choice Awards and among other influential figures and designers that have helped shaped her sense of style, the former reality star took time out of her acceptance speech to thank ex-husband Kanye West for introducing her to the world of fashion.

“I’m humbled every single day that designers are willing to work with me. There was a time when they weren’t,” the SKIMS founder remarked, pointing to West as one of the helped make those early introductions. “Thank you Zac Posen, who dressed me and took me to my first CFDA Awards, and so many amazing designers like Riccardo [Tisci] and Olivier [Rousteing] that really believed in me. Well, [they] probably [were] talked into it by getting a call from Kanye.”

Kardashian went on add, “To Kanye for really introducing me to the fashion world. I fell in love with fashion, and I’m so inspired by so many people. But again, this is like a dream that I get to wake up and wear these amazing clothes and try new things and take a risk. I’m so humbled.”
